Re: Blinx: The TimeSweeper - 8.8

Presentation
Imaginative worlds and great use of the hard drive. There are some faults here though, like a lack of cut scenes to move the story along and a really bad "time out" scenario.
7.0

Graphics
Amazing lighting and color make this one of the Xbox gems. The camera sucks and there's some flicker, and some heavy points of slowdown, but overall this one's a beaut.
9.0

Sound
Repetetive (and eventually annoying) soundtrack. The creatures don't make many interesting noises and Blinx only has one scarcely used meow.
6.0

Gameplay
Inventive, unique, and incredibly challenging. It seems so simple from the start of the game, but the further you go, the more difficult things get. A real winner.
8.0

Lasting Appeal
It starts off easy, but when it gets hard, it really gets hard. You'll need to replay earlier levels just to be able to beat later ones. And the incentive for finding all the secrets is there.
8.0

OVERALL SCORE (not an average)
8.8

I wasn't really expecting it to beat Sunshine, but I'm glad it didn't flop. And it's made by the guy behind Sonic CD so I'm drawn to it...

Oh, this will flop. Maybe a few thousand people will buy it.

Re: Jesus.

I love a game with time travel...

Sonic CD was the best....

But I have the feeling this won't do very well, only 2% of people look "most" forward to it on Gamefaqs, the least amount of people have plans to buy an X-box this christmas...

I want the system and the game both, but Microsoft is looking at a pretty slow moving future here....

I am THE CHEESE!

What poor excuse do you have for having this sig?

Re: Jesus.

Mario sure does. Sonic did for a while until everyone stopped giving a @#%$ about him.

Re: Jesus.

Got a chance to play Blinx today, at a friend's house.

It's a real nice game, looks good, sounds are allright, and... Well, I just plain like cats. =D
Worthy of being the X Box mascot in my book. =P

And frankly, I think Sonic's currently one of the strongest standing mascots of the gaming world, just like he's always been.
